ACMA's Composites 2024 Fly-In took place from February 26th through the 28th, bringing together over 60 members from the entire composites value chain to learn, network, and advocate to Congress and the Administration on the benefits of composites in industries across the nation. This historic turnout included a large delegation from the International Cast Polymer Association, alongside senior representatives from SAMPE and IACMI. This is the second year ACMA and ICPA have collaborated on this fly-in.
The Fly-In aimed to support efforts to include composites language in legislation funding and authorizing the activities of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and to gain political support for the joint ACMA and IACMI grant application to expand our industry’s capacity to produce Environmental Product Declarations, a requirement for suppliers of federally funded infrastructure. Participants also advocated for changes to U.S. tax law to allow full research and development expensing in the corresponding year. Additionally, ACMA supported the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act (S.722/H.R. 1477) which expands 529 savings plans to include tuition for technical certifications such as ACMA’s Certified Composites Technician program.
